Titled 'But a Memory', is a profound and symbolic work that marks her as a compelling new voice in South African art. As an upcoming artist, Christelle demonstrates a sophisticated ability to use realistic techniques to convey deep, metaphorical meanings. For an upcoming artist, her technical skill in capturing the anatomy of the skull and the specific "sheen" of a starling's feathers is exceptional. It shows a dedication to observation that is the hallmark of a great realist. In the FAK-VTM Gallery, we are particularly excited about artists like Christelle. This piece is a perfect example of how the next generation is reimagining our heritage and natural world. The title, 'But a Memory', adds a layer of haunting beauty that makes this a standout work for collectors looking for art with a "soul."
